I don't like it either. It's awful.

We know the transition from the legacy system hasn't been easy for everyone. While the old version was a classic, it reached a technical limit that made further development and site stability very difficult to achieve. This change was a necessary foundation for the future of ChessHere. We aren't finished yet. Help us shape the new experience: - What specific features from the old site do you miss most? - What layout changes would make your games more comfortable? Please share your specific suggestions. We are listening and ready to iterate.

The longer I use it the more I like it. The old platform was flaky on my iPhone, sometimes certain pieces randomly didn't show on the board, the new version works great on the phone. 95% of my usage is on my Windows PC without a problem. Keep up the good work.

If you try searching for someone in your rankings range to challenge, you get every single person who has ever registered on the site. I took one at random in the aaaaaaaaaa etc range. Someone who first registered in 2009. He or she never played a Correspondence game, never played a live game. Just registrered. So you could scroll through several hundred registered members before finding someone you want to play.

Please move the chessboard in the middle. Its position to the left is not very handy. You have lots of space to do it. Thanx in advance!

Please put back the buttons for previous move. The button for "Confirm Move" is awkward. In general the interface before was much more pleasant I would say, than as it is now.

@Texhorse: we're improving players pages soon, we'll be adding leaderboards and showing only active players @Bulldozer_BG: board in the midle, will fix today @Bulldozer_BG: Pev/Next buttons are already there! Confirm move will be repositioned to the top of the board(where controls are right now)
